My web searches suggest that using the psql command line I'm limited to
moving the cursor one character at a time. Is there a way to use a small
editor, e.g., joe on linux, to move by words or to the begining and end of
the line?

The PGDG prebuilt packages are built with libreadline.  Thus, if that's how you installed psql, Home, End, Ctrl-Left, Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-w should work.
